What does it mean to be primal in kink? It’s more than growls and chases, primal play is about instinct, presence, and power. This class will explore what it means to tap into your raw, animalistic side as a Top, bottom, switch, or something in-between. Whether you’re curious, seasoned, or just sniffing the air, come discover how to safely, consensually, and authentically unleash your inner predator or prey.
This is the perfect class for anyone looking to learn more about primal play, and for veteran primal players to expand their playstyle, workshop new ideas, practice, and connect with other primal folks. Whether you’re a hard-edged predator or a soft, curious creature just finding your stride, this class will offer opportunities for all levels of primal players to learn, share, and play.
Expect a mix of theory, discussion, and low-barrier, opt-in physical engagement. Yes, there will be mats for anyone who wants to throw down.
Class Rating: 2 out of 5 – Intro+ Level
This class is best suited for folks with some basic familiarity with primal play—no need to be an expert, but attendees should know the general concepts. It’s a great fit for those who are curious to deepen their practice, explore new ideas, or revisit foundational elements with fresh eyes. While the material won’t venture into risky territory like edge play, there will be opportunities for more experienced primal players to workshop ideas or have one-on-one discussions with the instructor during or after class.
